I’m not sure how I am supposed to stay married with my wife given all of these guys being in town, Taylor Lautner, Christian Bale, Tom Cruise.. Hell, I think she might actually BE MARRIED to Kenny Chesney but she keeps me around cuz he only passes through town once a year!!!

Does it really even matter what role Cruise is playing?
It all ends up being a different version of Maverick anyway. I think Tom stopped “Acting” years ago, now he just sort of loiters in front of the camera.

I hope so. I look forward to hearing the whining that will emanate from the first 18-year-old “kid” (i.e. emancipated adult) who, when confronted with doing serious time, insists he was just engaging in “harmless fun” that put lives at risk.

Of cour se, I may be a little more law-and-order than the average guy. Years ago they had a problem with fans rushing the field and destroying the goalposts after games, not to mention the bonfires in the streets, and the university and the city wrung their hands and rent their garments worrying about what was the minimal force they could use to try to bring the miscreants in line.

I thought they went about it bass-ackwards. They were starting with the least possible force and moving forward. I wanted them to start with the greatest possible force (shoot to kill) and move backwards. If we went a year without any incidents, we’d reset phasers to “stun” and so on, until people who want to consider themselves grownups begin to act like it.

Tom Cruise is not, cannot, nor ever will be Jack Reacher. My hubby and I have all of the books, and he’s already categorically refused to see the movie. This is just awful casting.

@Noelle – I think Heigl may do a decent job in One for the Money, but we’ll see. I think Debbie Reynolds as Grandma may save the movie. Sherri Shepherd as Lula has possibilities.
I’ve been reading the books since there were only two. Some are great, some so-so, but I will say I’ve never laughed so much reading any other books.

@bucdaddy: I’d expect no less from one who has as big a man-crush on Kojak as I have. Prolly has something to do with upbringing, too, I’m guessin’. Don’t do anything to a couch in the street that you wouldn’t do in your living room with your grandmother sitting on it.
